Adding Files With Finish Scripts

Through a finish script, you can add files from the JumpStart directory to the already installed workstation. This is possible because the JumpStart directory is mounted on the directory specified by the SI_CONFIG_DIR variable (which is set to /tmp/install_config by default).

You can also replace files by copying files from the JumpStart directory to already existing files on the installed workstation.

The following procedure enables you to create a finish script to add files to a workstation after the Trusted Solaris software is installed on it:

Create a Finish Script to Add Files after Installation

1. Copy all the files you want added to the installed workstation into the JumpStart directory.

2. Insert the following line into the finish script for each file you want copied into the newly installed file system hierarchy.

   cp ${SI_CONFIG_DIR}/file_name /a/path_name

For example, if you are using a custom JumpStart diskette to install Trusted Solaris, place a copy of the site's label_encodings file into the JumpStart directory on the diskette. The following finish script copies the file from the JumpStart directory into a workstation's /etc/security/tsol directory during a custom JumpStart installation:

#!/bin/sh
cp ${SI_CONFIG_DIR}/ label_encodings  /a/etc/security/tsol
